A delightful twist on the classic snack mix, perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in.
Preheat your oven to 250°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat.
Stir occasionally to prevent the butter from burning.
Add Worcestershire sauce, seasoning salt, and onion powder to the melted butter and mix well.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cereals, nuts, and pretzels.
Gently toss to avoid breaking the cereal pieces.
Pour the butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until evenly coated.
Ensure all pieces are coated for consistent flavor.
Spread the mixture evenly in a roasting pan.
Use a single layer for even baking.
Bake in the oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Stirring prevents burning and ensures even crisping.
Let the mix cool completely before serving or storing.
Cooling allows the flavors to settle and the texture to crisp up.
